The Rebirth of Lillian Strayer.

I think I may actually start to use this blog for writing. I never have the time to do anything substantial anymore and it depresses me. I have these stunning ideas at work, but no time to even jot down a rough idea of them. I find it funny how much the outline of my main character has changed in the year I've started working at MY-A, and yet I haven't even written down the changes. So perhaps she'll be the first blog. Yeah I think that settles it.


Name: Lillian Strayer
Heritage: American with French/English ancestry
Age: 30
Sex: Female
Hair: Originally black, now mahogany/deep brown
Eyes: Originally blue, now cat's eye green
Complexion: Originally pale, now rosy
Build: Originally tall and slim with small breasts and narrow hips, now short and curvy, with a slightly more ample bosom and much wider hips.
Occupation: Biochemist currently employed by the Maryland State Police's crime lab.
Style: Varies wildly depending upon where she is. At work she channels an almost pinup style, with pencil skirts and classic pumps as standards. At home she is more eclectic and comfortable, with wrap around sweaters and yoga pants. She has a love of argyle patterns but only in more modern colors.
Family: Jenni, mother;Michael, father;Elliot,brother;Katie;sister (every single person here is named after friends); Eden Kim, daughter (Eden is new)
Relationships: Daniel Kim(half Korean/half white). Lily met Daniel as seniors in high school when they were both angry children of military parents, tired of moving place to place. Thankfully neither family moved again, and the two stayed close. After school ended, Daniel moved to Virginia for college and Lily went to Massachusetts. Right after her graduation, Daniel, who had gone to work as a cop, called her about a job opportunity at the MSP crime lab. Pleased with the chance to work close to family, she applied and won the job. The two date off and on, and one of those times resulted in Eden's birth. Currently the only two people who don't consider Daniel and Lily together are Daniel and Lily.
Personality: Lillian is very professional, and her coworkers find it difficult to get close to her. Her banter with Daniel is seen as out of the norm for her and some unknowing colleagues have taken it to mean she is cold or unfriendly towards them personally. However she has a sharp, caustic sense of humor and with her family and friends she is very relaxed. She becomes mush over her daughter, and pictures of her are the only decoration at her office. She likes to have time alone though, and she takes an hour a night to read in a hot bath. (Originally she was very emotional and playful at work, and cold towards her family)
Pets: 1 dog, Amelia (rat terrier Pomeranian mix)
